Architect Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just had an idea. I havent got enough money to buy pouches for like £25 to stick on a modular vest. The costs would skyrocket. So what about buying a modular vest and modding PLCE pouches onto it? Get one of those vests, and then get 2 of the following pouches Stick 2 of those pouches (so four magazine pouches in total) on the bottom half of the vest one way or another and then you have the upper part to add normal molle pouches. I'm sure this would work and would be cheaper. But how would it look? Comments please Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 There is already a sort of PLCE version of this, though it only really lets you take off the pouches you aren't planning on using. However, I'll be buggered if I can find a link to it. PLCE pouches aren't exactly cheap either though, especially new. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I know ALICE pouches will fit on MOLLE. Looks like the PLC ones will, from the pictures at Flecktarn. Link to post Share on other sites
Redcap Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 There's one great honking problem with PLCE and MOLLE; they use completely different fixing methods; I personally can't see PLCE the mounting system for PLCE being compatible with MOLLE, but if you can make it work, I'm all ears!

Architect Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm sure there is a way of modding it to fit. I now it is expensive if you buy all the stuff new, but if you already have a set of webbing then it could be quite cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
Major_Payne Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 might look like this: Link to post Share on other sites
Architect Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yeah, something like that. The thing is that in the UK, each of those mag pouches would cost like £20, so that setup would cost quite a bit. Otherwise, if someone wants to post a link to cheap pouches that would be nice Link to post Share on other sites
Major_Payne Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 yea my vest was $100usd alone and then adding a camelbak was 90 and then pouches was like 120 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcap Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I was recently recommended to check out Combat Kit; their MAS pouches are MOLLE compatible; here's the link: http://www.combatkit.net/products/mas/mas_page1.html Prices are in Euros, and are cheap; UK Agent is IronClad, at http://www.ironclad-surplus.co.uk/contenti...entID~3414.aspx BTW - CombatKit gear can come in DPM HTH Link to post Share on other sites
Architect Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 GREAT FIND!!! Sorry to dissappoint others by not carrying through my PLCE idea, but with those prices there really isnt any point. When will they have all thepouches in stock in the uk? Link to post Share on other sites
Architect Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Now i just have to decide whether i want DPM, Olive, or black Anywhere in UK that sells those molle vests cheap, because their version is a bit on the expenive side? Link to post Share on other sites
Redcap Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Architect - Drop 'em a line and ask; they're sure to stock a large number of them, if only to fit out the various configurations they list. As to cheap MOLLE vests, dunno; got my TT MOLLE vest second hand for £50, and very nice it is too Link to post Share on other sites
